Does anyone have experience with this cartridge for coyote hunting?

I was considering getting the rifle for that; but the ammo availability is questionable. Decided on .223 for coyotes

I think Species has one if memory serves correctly so hopefully he can help you out. , I was interested but am hoping CZ introduces one or perhaps Ruger.

Ya, changed my mind. Now leaning towards a used 22-250

Your memory serves correctly. I have a Savage with 21 inch heavy stainless barrel and boyds laminated stock.

I would not use it on coyotes except if there is no wind and i was shooting off a rest. Under those conditions i would use it for head shots inside 100 yards.

How does it shoot , and how is ammo availability ?

You may be correct Saber. After my 22 mag I think I would look at the 17 hornet or just go ith a .223. But guns are fun and no harm in expereminting.

Shoots 0.5 to 0.75 inch groups at 100 yards if I do my part. Ammo availability has not been an issue to date - always in stock so far.

In terms of down range energy it carries as much energy at 60 yards as a 22mag does at the muzzle, as much at 130 yards as a 17hmr at the muzzle and at 250 yards it is still carrying more than than a 22LR. Flight characteristics (but not energy) are similar to a .222 rem.

Thanks for the intel Species.
